Capabilities

User with this ability either is or can transform into a Pastoral Deity, a god/goddess who represents or is associated with a pastoral lifestyle. A pastoral lifestyle is that of shepherds herding livestock around open areas of land according to seasons and the changing availability of water and pasture. It also lends its name to a genre of literature, art, and music that depicts such life in an idealized manner, typically for rural areas.
